This is really a five star place, but the prices are higher, so I'm giving it a bit of a star discount. When you need solid recommendations to go with the quality, go, because you will love it... and you can always pay a bit more for love, versus really, really like, huh? Let me explain why:
1. Wines. Great selection with clear and great explanations of the wine, including what types of cheeses and meats pair well. They have always been spot on in my opinion.
2. Cheeses. Oh, the cheeses. What's great is that you get to try any cheese you might want to see if it is indeed what you want. They have a great selection, but what's more notable if the staff. They really care about their products and definitely know what they are selling.
3. Sandwiches. If you are lucky enough, you can get one of their sandwiches. They make 1 kind per day and they are yummy. My husband will buy two because he doesn't want the first to end. They have a great flavor profile and will likely inspire you to try something new.
It is a great place to go for a gift, including BEAUTIFUL trays. I just filled a bag -- a goat.sheep.cow. bag of course -- for a friend's bday today: two wines, two cheeses, some rosemary crackers, olive oil, wine cherries, and caramels. I know it will all be great!
Overall, you can get many of the same wines, cheeses and charcuterie downtown for less, but you will have to take more risk and more time. So my recommendation is when you know you need to make it a win, go to goat.sheep.cow, pay a bit more, know exactly what you are getting... and it will be grand!!!
